Notes

VIII. Francis Willis((8)), b. January 25, 1745. Married (1769)
Elizabeth Edwards, b. December 29, 1740; d. August 27, 1807, of
St. Andrew's Parish, Brunswick Co., Va. They lived a short time
in that county and then moved to Berkeley (afterwards Jefferson)
County, which was laid off in 1772 by his kinsman, Robert Carter
Willis, and they lived at "Shannon Hall" on the Shenandoah
River. In 1784 they moved to Georgia and in 1792 we find him in
the second Congress as a representative from Georgia. He appears
to have continued his roving habits, for he afterwards left
Georgia and went to Maury County, Tennessee, where he died April
3, 1829, in Montgomery, aged 84 years, 2 months and 16 days.
